Problem with embedding videos

Hey, so I checked out multiple threads about this in the Freshman forum, but couldn't find an answer to my problem. I tried messaging the staff but
received no reply, so I'm throwing it out there. I understand the steps inorder to embed. My problem is that all of the icons above the message box
are faded out/unclickable. I cant use the youtube icon, underline icon, bolden or any of them. Ideas anyone? Thanks.

It's best to tell us which browser you're using and what operating system. Usually having more than one browser installed, you can diagnose problems
like this to see if it happens across all browsers you've tried, or just a single browser.

Related question: Does that work with non-YouTube videos like Google video or others?

No. Only works with YouTube videos. And Google video has been long gone. There used to be a button for Google video as well, but since Google video is
no more, so is the button.

Quite a few people are having more problems with IE than with Firefox. If you can, try deleting your cookies, cache, history, etc., then see if the
buttons come back. Also, make sure your Java and Adobe Flash is up to date.

If that still fails, download and try Firefox. It's a better browser anyway.

Hmmm, for me, I get this weird blank popup that says youtube, and only has an OK button. I hit the OK button, then the empty field pops up. Not sure
why that strange first popup happens at all. I assume there must be a reason though lol.
